Defending in FIFA 23 is sometimes a difficult task, but with a Power Tackle, you can continue to improve the number of times you recover when you can get the ball on the defense. But, it should be noted that this type of action could be risky, receiving warnings and in more serious cases, being expelled. So here we will go in-depth on how to Power tackle.
To Power Tackle in FIFA 23, you must hold R1/RB and press the tackle button. You’ll be able to make a more sharp tackle that covers much more distance quickly. And there are two “power tackle” moves - strong standing tackle and hard slide tackle.
Hard Slide Tackle
This kind of move is a new sliding tackle type that is intended for more urgent situations where you want to dispossess the attacker but not necessarily try to keep the ball in play. To perform a hard slide tackle, hold R1/RB and press Circle/B. Your player will go to the ground and kick hard with the lead foot. If it makes contact with the ball, then they’ll kick it with power, probably out of touch. While it is not difficult to perform a hard slide tackle, timing and positioning become important elements. For instance, a hard slide tackle from the back is more likely to earn your player a red card.

Strong Standing Tackle
When approaching the opponent with the ball from the front or the side, press Square/X to make a powerful standing tackle in FIFA 23. If you do this from behind, then you’ll pull or push the opponent, and this is more likely to result in a foul. You only need to hold the button for a second or so, and you’ll probably accidentally perform a strong tackle sometimes when you get a bit over-excited and “tap” the button more firmly than you intended. The strong standing tackle isn’t much different from the regular one, but as with the hard slide tackle, your player will kick the ball away rather than trying to take possession of it.
This is all we know about how to make a strong tackle in FIFA 23, and we just have to be careful when running it because it can have negative consequences.
